Author Topic: How about a dedicated forum for large-format fans/projectionists? Douglas Carmichael Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Naperville, IL, USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 01-08-2004 01:24 AM                    What would you think of a dedicated forum for large-format (ie. 8/70 and 15/70) and special-venue fans/projectionists that would be separate from the other forums? The forum would be for discussing the unique technical issues of LF/special venue film presentation vs. 16mm/35mm film presentation. Any comments (I know there's more than a few LFers on here.) --Douglas  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

You might as well call the IMAX only club. What about the 8/70 and 10/70 people?

If members started discussing 8-perf 70mm or 10-perf 70mm, they would be welcome. As they say, "Different Horses for Different Courses". It is a very useful public large-format forum, as well as the private large format forums.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2004 03:02 PM                     Oh my, what horrible software they are using. How are you supposed to find the current discussions? I am seeing these "last post" dates in this order: 04-20-01 03-24-99 12-12-00 12-04-98 07-02-01 etc. Anyway, it's no big deal to open up a new forum, if there is a strong need or desire for it. 1570.com has been around for awhile and I have always assumed it does the job for the large format guys. If there is a reasonable consensus to open up a large forum here, I'll make Adam and Gordon moderate it.  |  IP: Logged
